The Perfect War Story……. - Chapter 103

Suddenly the music changed and a few girls dressed in pink attires, starting to hum a beautiful song. Linda was smiling looking at Austin, while Austin kept looking at her beautiful face.

“You look beautiful.” Austin spoke softly as they both walked to the centre of the stage, where the priest was standing.

“Thank you. This song is for you. I told the girls to play it, as soon as I hold your hand.” Linda blushed a bit as, Austin lifted the veil in front of her, revealing her stunningly bright face.

“Ohh?” Austin was least bothered about the music and ambience but nevertheless he heard the music. Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href=”#……._14222332706753005/i-do…_50876242437652990″>#……._14222332706753005/i-do…_50876242437652990</a> for visiting.

Soon the girls were singing a beautiful song, while Linda looked at Austin’s face as if the lyrics were exactly what she wanted to say.

“Wise men say

Only fools rush in

But I can’t help falling in love with you

Shall I stay?

Would it be a sin

If I can’t help falling in love with you?

Like a river flows

Surely to the sea

Darling, so it goes

Some things are meant to be

Take my hand

Take my whole life too

For I can’t help falling in love with you

Like a river flows

Surely to the sea

Some things are meant to be

Take my hand

Take my whole life too

For I can’t help falling in love with you

For I can’t help falling in love with you…..”

Austin pursed his lips as he heard the lyrics and forced a smile on his face. “This is beautiful. Thank you.”

Suddenly the music halted and the priest standing close to them smiled looking at the beautiful couple. “I welcome you all to Austin and Linda’s wedding. The bride and the groom shall now exchange their vows.”

Austin gulped and then yet again held Linda’s hands, looking at her smiling face. He had sat down in his study for several hours since morning, thinking of what to speak which sounded genuine.

“Ahem… Linda… Thank you for marrying me. I know, you have not liked me in the past so I am glad that you gave me a chance in your life. You are my every dream come true, and I can’t wait for the reality we get to build together. There is no remedy for love says Thoreau… but to love more. Today and forever I will follow his advice and seek my remedy in your arms…” He pursed his lips, finishing his vows and the crowd hooted and appluaded for the man, while the mrdua captured every moment in the camera.

Linda smiled as she looked at Austin with her teary eyes. “Austin….I choose you and promise to choose you as my husband every day we wake. I will love you in word and deed. I will laugh with you, cry with you, scream with you, grow with you, and craft with you. To be your kin and your partner in all of life’s adventures is all I could hope for in the world. Loving what I know of you and trusting what I don’t yet know, I give you my hand. I give you my love. I give you myself, the good, the bad, and the yet to come. You love me in love and complete me in ways I never knew possible. From this day forth, I promise to listen to you and learn from you, to support you and accept your support. I will celebrate your successes and mourn your losses as though they were my own. I will love you, my husband, and rejoice in your love for me for all of the years of our lives….. I love you.”  A tear dropped down from the girl’s eye as she looked at Austim, who was blankly looking at her as if half interested in what the girl was saying.

The entire garden was filled with a huge applause, while the priest step ahead smiling looking at the couple. “Today, surrounded by all of your loved ones, Linda do you choose Austin to be your husband? To be a proud wife and to join your life with him. Do you vow to support him, inspire him, and always love him? For as long as you both shall live, –for better or worse, in sickness and health, for richer or poorer?”

“I do.” Linda nodded her head smiling in much excitement.

“Austin…. In faith, honesty, and love, do you take Linda to be your wedded wife?  Do you pledge to share with you God’s plan for your lives together united in Christ. For better, for worse, in sickness and in health, in joys and in sorrows, until death does you apart–do you promise with God’s help to strengthen and guide Linda as your supportive wife?” The priest turned to look at Austin who yet again seemed to be in a trance.

Linda looked at him in a bit of hesitation, who had yet not replied to the priest. “Austin?”

“Austin… Do you?” The priest asked again while everybody grew silent around them. The priest patted Austin’s shoulder, and Austin blinked several times looking at Linda.

“Oh, sorry. I was spell- bounded by her beautiful face. Of course I do. Is there any doubt?” Austin shrugged his shoulders trying to act funny.

Everybody including Linda bursted into laughter, while Austin smiled looking at Linda.

“Well… then you may exchange your rings.” The priest spoke happily and Austin turned to look at Smith, who handed him over a beautiful red velvet box. Austin had not even bothered to select a ring for his wife, but had told Smith to find the most extravagent ring in the entire shop. He knew that the media would definitely cover the ring, so his reputation was dependant on the kind of ring he gave to Linda.

Austin opened the box and was impressed to see a large blue colored rock, which shouted ‘Million dollars’even from a far away distance. He slid the ring on Linda’s finger, while everybody clapped for the two of them.

Linda turned to look at Sheryl, who was dressed elegantly in a metallic attire. Sheryl handed over a red colored tiny box to Linda and Linda quickly took out a rose gold ring from it. The ring had a tiny abd elegant rock on it, with A & L inscribed on its band. “I got this customised for you. Do you like it?”

“I love it.” Austin smiled a bit hardly paying attention to the ring as Linda slid the ring on his finger.

The two held each other’s hands, while everybody stood up on there seats, clapping for them.

“I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride.” The priest exclaimed in much joy, while Austin encircled his arms aroung Linda’s waist and kissed her passionately.

Soon everybody had already gathered for the lavish lunch, while Linda and Austin too walked towards the lunch table. Suddenly Austin’s phone buzzed and he glanced towards Linda, who was bust talking to her overly excited mother.

Austin quickly took out his phone and noticed it was rather a message on Linda’s phone. He quickly opened the message box and read a message.

…..

‘Boss…. Following are the names of the evidences, statements and there signatures for the liquor case. They all have agreed to reach the court and give there statements. We will surely win this case.’

…

His phone buzzed again and Austin noticed a pdf file sent to him by same number.

…..

‘These are the names of the evidences, who are going to appear against us. Talk to them and bribe them. They need to change there statement in court when Linda asks for the statement. Make sure we win this case.’

…

Austin quickly pressed the send buŧŧon and placed the phone back in his pocket. As soon as he turned to look at Linda, he realized Linda was already looking at him carefully.

“What happened? Whom are you messaging at this moment?” Linda frowned looking at Austin who was smiling happily gazing at her.

“My therapist. He was messaging me constantly asking me, if I could sleep again. So, I had to tell him.” Austin shrugged his shoulders, already having spoken the first lie of his wedding. “All thanks to you, I feel like a new man.”

“Awee… I love you Austin.” Linda smiled as she ċȧrėssed Austin’s cheek lovingly and planted a gently kiss on his forehead. “This is the happiest day of my life. I never knew I could marry you. But you proved me wrong.”

“I am glad. Come let us head for lunch.” Austin smiled a bit and they both walked hand in hand, as a newly wedded couple towards the lunch table…
